Over the past few years, I have worked closely with Dominique Harris on my family law property settlement. Her professionalism, guidance, and unwavering support carried me through every stage of the process right to the end. Thanks to her representation, I achieved an excellent outcome, and I am deeply grateful for her expertise and care. She guided me both emotionally and professionally through very testing waters at times, even those occasions when I thought I was going to give up! Highly recommend Pearsons and Dominique Harris to represent anyone going through a property settlement. Their clients’ best interest are a priority.
Response from the owner:Mary, thank you for your heartfelt review. We are so glad Dominique could stand by you through each stage of your property settlement and help you reach such a positive outcome. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

Last year my wife and I engaged Pearsons Family Lawyers to assist with a dispute involving a contractor who carried out very poor workmanship on our home. The matter involved extensive email exchanges and ongoing pressure from the contractor.

Leanne Abela from Pearsons provided clear, practical advice at every step, particularly on how to respond and how to properly counter the contractor’s claims. Her guidance and diligence gave us confidence to pursue the matter and ultimately resulted in us not paying for work that was sub standard.

We found her and her team knowledgeable, responsive, and very easy to deal with.

We highly recommended Pearsons Family Lawyers.
Response from the owner:Marc, thank you for your detailed review. We're pleased Leanne and the team could provide the clear guidance and responsiveness you needed to resolve the contractor dispute successfully. We appreciate your recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we create parenting arrangements?

Parenting arrangements or plans can be developed through negotiation, family dispute resolution, or by applying for a parenting order through the family law courts. Our experienced team provides tailored support to ensure arrangements reflect parental responsibility, the best interests of children, and your specific circumstances.

How is property settlement resolved?

Property settlement can be finalised via binding financial agreements, prenuptial agreements (made prior to the relationship breakdown), consent orders, or court orders. Our legal team helps clients navigate complex property settlement issues, value assets, assess liabilities and superannuation to achieve realistic outcomes for both parties.

What does shared parental responsibility mean?

Shared parental responsibility gives both parents equal rights and duties in making key decisions about their child’s welfare, education, healthcare and overall upbringing. Our team provides strong advocacy and practical advice to former de facto and married couples, same-sex couples, and individuals navigating parenting matters.

How can we reach a mutually agreeable resolution on family law matters?

Many clients resolve matters through mediation, negotiation, or consent orders. Our dedicated team provides practical advice and emotional support to help you make informed decisions while managing the emotional impact of family separation or divorce applications.

What does a divorce cost?

Divorce applications typically involve court fees, and any additional costs for legal advice and representation, depending on the complexity of the family matters. Our experienced team provides realistic advice on potential outcomes for parenting, child support and financial agreements, ensuring transparency and avoiding unexpected costs.

What is a consent order?

A consent order is a legally binding court-approved agreement covering parenting orders (child custody) and property division. They provide certainty without a full hearing, helping couples navigate complex issues with minimal emotional difficulty.

What is a financial agreement?

Financial agreements (also known as prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and family law financial agreements) are legally binding contracts that outline asset division, spousal maintenance, or other financial matters before, during, or after a marriage or de facto relationship. Our legal team ensures your agreement reflects your specific circumstances and long-term goals.

How can we ensure agreements are enforceable?

Agreements can be formalised by way of court orders or binding agreements, and must comply with family law requirements. Consent orders and binding financial agreements both provide certainty, protect your legal rights, and are enforceable after both parties sign them.
